About Kirketon Road Centre
Welcome to Kirketon Road Centre, located in Darlinghurst, Australia. As an establishment and health point of interest, we are dedicated to providing free and anonymous care to individuals who face barriers when accessing healthcare.
Established in 1987, Kirketon Road Centre was created to address the needs of certain groups in the area that were not being adequately served by existing clinics and healthcare services. We firmly believe that healthcare is a fundamental human right, and we recognize that some populations have limited access to these services. Our center has a specific mandate to serve these groups, including LGBTQI and Aboriginal communities.
At Kirketon Road Centre, we offer a range of services to meet the diverse needs of our clients. We provide testing, treatment, and management of sexually transmissible infections (STIs), including HIV. We also offer sex worker check-ups and certificates. Additionally, we provide a full range of injecting equipment, free of charge, 24/7. Condoms, lube, and links to your nearest Needle Syringe Program Services, Alcohol and Drug Medical Services, and Sharps Disposal locations are also available.
For individuals dependent on opioids, such as heroin or morphine, who have struggled to access or stay on drug treatment programs, we provide support through our Take Home Naloxone Program. This program aims to reduce the risks of illness and death from opioid overdose in people who inject drugs. We also offer holistic assessment, comprehensive treatment, and targeted care through outreach and our liver clinics.
Our commitment to providing accessible and culturally appropriate care extends to our work with Aboriginal clients. We offer STI/HIV and hepatitis care, alcohol and other drug support, mental health services, reproductive health care, vaccinations, wound care, nutrition counseling, and much more.
Our counseling services include drug and alcohol support, methadone management, crisis intervention, social welfare assistance, and practical and emotional support. We also assist individuals with emergency, short-term, and long-term accommodation issues, offering applications, advocacy, and support.
For young people up to 25 years of age who are homeless, vulnerable, or experiencing social hardship, we provide a free, non-judgmental, and confidential health clinic.
In addition to our main location in Darlinghurst, we also have two satellite sites: KRC Firestation in Darlinghurst and KRC South in Caringbah, located on the grounds of The Sutherland Hospital. These sites offer a range of services, including the availability of the Needle Syringe Program through a vending machine at the KRC Firestation, accessible 24 hours a day.
At Kirketon Road Centre, we strive to ensure that all individuals receive the care they need in a supportive and inclusive environment. We are dedicated to improving the health and well-being of our community, and we invite you to visit us for all your healthcare needs.

Reviews of Kirketon Road Centre
"Give me more stars to give to the stars of this magnificent place. To the kind and caring people of KRC, you rock this galaxy times a million. Thank you for your ongoing service your friendship and support."
"Above the firestation on Kirketon Road. Staff are fabulous and make you feel really comfortable. Doctors are great and feels like they are invested in my well-being. Councellors are super helpful as well. Lots of different groups happening. The consumer participation group members are friendly and diverse and work hard to make the service better and more accessible to EVERYONE."
"Been there numerous times, good doctors there, very professional and thorough,but it can be a bit of a wait, also there's a methadone clinic there & alot of the clients are drug users, it's perfectly safe but,you see some interesting characters there, overall a good place but you might have to wait awhile"
"Professional, friendly staff. Clean facility. I called ahead as i live in building next door. Was told it was empty; and encouraged to visit at that moment. Arrived literally 3 mins later. Four other patients suddenly. I sat for 1.5 hours waiting. Finally I expressed that I had to go back to work. Was told that for sure I was up next. (There was no one else, no other patients I mean, in the clinic at that point) So waited another 20 minutes. Nothing. So I left. Again, great facility, super friendly staff Maybe because straight white male I dropped to bottom of queue for 2 hours, not sure. Haha. If you are too, clear a few hours in your diary etc x"
"Absolutely disgraceful. I called at 1230pm, was told so long as I am there b4 3pm I'll get in for appointment. 1.5hrs waiting to be then told for a health screen and symptoms they dont have enough time to see me! I'm furious! I travelled 1.45hr to get here well before 3pm! A disgraceful attitude and I'll never recommend or come to this place again. 5he staff were lovely, the doctor is a rude and unprofessional so called medical grad"
